Kansas

Wichita, KS - The Union Station opened in 1914. Through the 1930s, it served as the primary point of arrival for travelers coming to the city. Railroads including the Frisco, Santa Fe, and Rock Island offered passenger service to and from cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, and St. Louis. The station closed in 1979 when Amtrak discontinued its Lone Star line, ending passenger rail access to the city. The nearest intercity station is in Newton, 25 miles north, which is served by the Southwest Chief. [Wiki]
